Odyssey Web Browser Bounty Project for AmigaOS & AROS
« on: November 12, 2013, 07:13:09 PM »

The aim of the Odyssey Bounty Project is to license a current version of the full-featured Odyssey Web Browser and share it under an open source license so it can be fully ported to AmigaOS and AROS. While the author of the Odyssey Web Browser has previously shared parts of his work entirely for free, which already improved the browser choices on these two platforms by a great deal, these existing ports of Odyssey use an outdated version of the Webkit browser engine and lack key functionality such as the capability to play HTML5 video.

Why no bounty for an OS3.9 version?
  At the very least the thread title should be changed to make it clear it is only for OS4.

If the funding goal is reached, Odyssey will be open source so anybody can port it to any operating system they like. There will be no limitation regarding what platform you are allowed to port the software to.

If somebody is brave enough to attempt a port, they are welcome to do so. There already exists a port of Oxygen Web Browser for AROS 68k, which is based on an older version of Fabien's Odyssey Web Browser.
